Seva Mandir

Seva Mandir is a non-governmental organisation engaging in the sector of rural and tribal development in Rajasthan for more than five decades. The idea was conceived in the 1930s, but its foundation was laid by Dr. Mohan Sinha Mehta in 1968 in Udaipur. 

Seva Mandir works with over 540,000 people and more than 1,500 villages in southern Rajasthan, where over 70% of the population relies on subsistence agriculture and most people live below the poverty line.  Our work includes strengthening community institutions; increasing livelihoods and value chains; preserving shared and sustainable natural resources; supporting children through education and early childhood care and nutrition; empowering youth and women; and improving water, hygiene and sanitation practices.
